A 31-year-old transient was arrested on suspicion of numerous burglaries in Ventura, officials said Saturday.

The Ventura Police Department responded to a call of the suspect, Brandon Harmon, leaving a house in the 200 block of Aliso Street about 5:15 a.m., officials said. A new bike was left behind.

Officers found Harmon inside a car in the 500 block of Aliso. They removed him from the car when he refused to get out.

Police said the bike that had been left behind and a purse found in Harman's backpack came from a home in the 1200 block of Buena Vista Street.

Other items were also recovered and returned to their owners, officials said.

Harmon was treated at Ventura County Medical Center for minor injuries and booked in the Ventura County jail on suspicion of residential burglary, possession of stolen property, resisting arrest and prowling.

His bail was set at $500,000.

Police urge residents to lock all doors in their homes, garages and vehicles.
